Earlier today, we were given a sense of the Giants’ front office shuffle in the wake of the weekend’s big news involving Larry Baer. An executive team involving three vice presidents and President of Baseball Operations will be reporting directly to ownership while overseeing the day to day operations of the club. What does that mean? This is the first time in a great long while that the Baseball Operations department will be working without a net or liaison, and Farhan Zaidi appears to be the right person for the job.
Baer serves as the liaison between the baseball executive, in this case Zaidi, and the owners on the board of directors.
